A trip back in time to the Belo Horizonte of the past. In a light 3-hour tour, we'll walk through Belo Horizonte's past portrayed by writers such as Carlos Drummond de Andrade, Henriqueta Lisboa, Pedro Nava and Mário de Andrade. We meet at the Church of Boa Viagem. So, we took a ride on the writings of centenary poets and chroniclers to show the Belo Horizonte lived by them, which today only exists in these records. We will tell picturesque stories of a BH built on the rubble of a city over 200 years old, which was erased from the map in the name of modernity. We are going to retrace the steps of important political and artistic personalities of the last century, comparing poetry, short stories, curious stories and historical images with today's scenarios.
